MIME Type for CSV, Draft -01

February 17, 2005 – 1:58 am

I just submitted the -01 version of my CSV MIME Type draft (full repository, HTML and TXT). HTML list of differences between the -00 and -01 drafts is here and my earlier post is here. Comments should go to either the IETF-TYPES mailing list or to me directly at ietf /at/ shaftek [.] org.

The biggest difference in this draft is the move of the CSV format definition to the normative section as suggested by Dave Crocker.

UPDATE: Draft -02 is out with very minor corrections (HTML and TXT).

MIME Type for CSV

February 2, 2005 – 8:16 pm

Recently while working with comma separated value (CSV) files, I came across an interesting fact that there is no registered MIME type for this format while there is one for tabbed separated. To correct that, I whipped up an Internet draft (see directory for other file types).

UPDATE: The draft just posted to the IETF’s repository.

UPDATE #2: Version -01 is out.
